3D CBCT Scan machines are the latest addition in the world of dentistry. Our in house CBCT(Cone-beam computed tomography) machine, Vatech A9 ( South Korea)is an advanced imaging modality that has an exposure time of 15.5 seconds.
All the images are produced digitally and stored in your file with all your other x-rays.
All images stored as digital files and are sent to the patient via email on request.

Benefits of using CBCT in our practice
- The focused x-ray beam reduces scatter radiation, resulting in better image quality.
- A single scan produces a wide variety of views and angles that can be manipulated to provide a more complete evaluation.
- Cone beam CT scans provide more information than conventional dental x-ray, allowing for more precise treatment planning.
- CT scanning is painless, noninvasive and accurate.
- A major advantage of CT is its ability to image bone and soft tissue at the same time.
What are some common uses of the CBCT?
Dental cone beam CT is commonly used for treatment planning of implants and Orthodontic purposes. It is also useful for more complex cases that involve:
- Surgical planning for impacted teeth.
- Diagnosing temporomandibular joint disorder(TMD).
- Accurate placement of dental implants.
- Evaluation of the jaw, sinuses, nerve canals and nasal cavity.
- Detecting, measuring and evaluating jaw tumors.
- Determining bone structure and tooth orientation.
- Locating the origin of pain or pathology.
- Cephalometric analysis.
- Reconstructive surgery.
